We don't know about you, but when we used to settle in to the original "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," it was a full-family show. Perhaps it was just the nature of it being on broadcast television on a Sunday night, but we would pile onto the couches all together with bowls of popcorn, ready to watch the new episode and inevitably watch Mom cry at the end.
According to the numbers, the audience for the reboot of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" looks a little different. The premiere, which went live on HGTV on Sunday, February 16, 2020, raked in 4.2 million viewers, with three days of DVR catchup included in that number, according to The Wrap. This put it well within the top five cable programs for that night and time slot, and it was also within the top five for "upscale" (or "wealthy") people in the 25 to 54 year-old demographic.
As The Wrap went on to report, the series was particularly popular with "upscale" women between 25 and 52, ranking in the top three cable shows in its time slot. To us, this tracks with HGTV's typical audience.
